Device and system for facilitating communication and networking within a secure mobile environment

摘要

The present invention relates generally to facilitating secure voice and data communication by way of a commercially available communication device (i.e., smartphone/smartdevice). Specifically, the device and system for pairing a specialized cryptographic device with a non-specialized communication device, wherein the two devices engage in bidirectional communication to facilitate encryption of voice and data for secure transmission over a network. While providing the sensitive cryptographic features for secure communications, the cryptographic device further implements and enforces security policies for the communication device by way if an intermediary native application executed at the communication device. The encryption device is suitably designed to be carried discreetly and may be used in conjunction with a commercially available communication device.

主权项

1. A data security system for providing cryptographic services to a disparately located communication device over a communications network, said data security system comprising:
a processor for receiving a connection request from said disparately located communication device, wherein said connection request is by way of at least one of: a wired or wireless communications network; a validation element, in communication with said processor and positioned proximate with said processor, for performing an analysis of said connection request, wherein said analysis comprises a validation of at least one of: said data security system, an identity of said communication device, or a user identity; said processor for receiving a communication signal from said disparately located communication device based on said analysis by said validation element; an encryption element, in communication with said processor, for executing a cryptographic function for manipulating said communication signal to form an encrypted communication signal; a rules element, in communication with said processor, for compiling a communication device command based on at least one of: a predefined rule or a type associated with said communication signal, wherein said communication device command invokes a security function at said disparately located communication device; a sending element, in communication with said processor, for sending at least one of: said security function or said encrypted communication signal to said disparately located communication device, wherein said disparately located communication device at least of one: executes said device command or transmits said encrypted communication signal to a destination server; and wherein said data security system facilitates secure commercial features in accordance with government entity certification protocols.
